Adventure Time: “Orgalorg” - AVClub

AVClub: One of the major ideas of Adventure Time is that a bright, playful children’s cartoon world could have a tragic past of death and destruction, and the series gained more and more depth as it devoted extra time to exploring the history of this post-post-apocalyptic Earth. There’s darkness underneath this show’s candy-colored cuteness, and Gunther is the embodiment of this dynamic in “Orgalorg,” which reveals that the penguin is actually an alien death-god that was banished to Ooo after a battle in the stars against Grob Gob Glob Grod.
